I'm all for "own your gross fetish" (and, y'know, tag and warn, so your target audience can find it and people who don't want to see it can ignore it) when it comes to extreme underage...or non-con...or slavefic...or guro...or anything else that is legitimately awful IRL.

But when you're talking about the idea of shipping teenagers with other teenagers? Especially for series where the bulk of the characters are teenagers, a lot of the audience is teenaged, and many of the adults in the fandom probably got into it when they were also teenagers?

That's not gross. That's fandom. And trying to equate it to the sexual abuse and molestation of real children is horrifying on all kinds of levels. People should be ashamed of themselves.

Seriously. About 70% of mainstream anime/manga characters would not be shippable, because no matter how old and buff they look, the fact that they're still in high or even middle school means they are clearly not adults.

I think it gets pretty ridiculous in this case (if this is about Ava's Demon) because the people who are complaining about the "underage nudity" and "pedophila" seem to have very little problem with shipping, for example, Free! characters at the same time.

Exactly.

Example: My childhood OTP was TK/Kari from Digimon. At that time, we were around the same age, but now? I'm over a decade older than them and I still ship them. Am I a pedophile now?

DA I never draw porn and everything I draw with characters underage is always PG rated. I don't think about sex with a lot of ships, I just think they're cute.

If people are seriously thinking shipping is all related to sex and it's all gross then we have entered a new age of weird in fandom.

This.

The conversation the other day about the GW fandom is a case in point. Massive fandom as its height, with all sorts of smut and kink going on, and the main characters were 15/16. I don't remember any discussion of their ages at all. Not even when they were shipped with the 20+ year old characters.

The GW fandom was crazy for other reasons, but I dread to imagine what it would've been like if it was played out today against the backdrop of Tumblr.

I'd probably hate the show...just because it'd be ruined by these asshats.

But luckily, I saw back when I was 11-12 and I have very happy memories and yep~

Tumblr would conveniently overlook the big elephant in the room that GW is basically a pretty sad story about child soldiers to wank about "pedo shippers" or something.
